The Rolling (Al-Takweer)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
When the sun is overthrown, 1 And when the stars darken, 2 And when the mountains are driven. 3 The ten-month pregnant female camels are abandoned, 4 and when all beasts are gathered together, 5 the oceans are brought to a boil, 6 and when all human beings are coupled [with their deeds,] 7 when the buried female infant is asked 8 For what sin she was killed, 9 and when the scrolls [of men's deeds] are unfolded, 10 and when heaven is laid bare, 11 and when Hell is set ablaze, 12 and Paradise is brought near, 13 then shall each person know what he has brought along. 14 So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, 15 the planets that run their course and set, 16 by the night when it approaches 17 And the morning when it brightens, 18 Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger, 19 The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion, 20 Obeyed and worthy there of trust. 21 Your companion is not possessed; 22 And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon. 23 And he is not avid of the Unseen. 24 And the Qur’an is not the recitation of Satan the outcast. 25 Where then will you go? 26 This is naught else than a reminder unto creation, 27 For him among you who pleases to go straight. 28 And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds. 29
